Friday's This and That

Consider this an open thread and add your thoughts...


* Bush was confined to his hotel room due to a stomach illness according to an AP report . Maybe he didn't want to continue the family tradition of vomiting then passing out in front of foreign leaders, but at least German Chancellor Merkel won't have to worry about being groped...for today, that is, lol.


* Tony Perkins from the Family Research Council has come up with another reason to be against same sex marriage, and you won't believe it. It seems Tony is all upset about homosexual partners sharing a common, married name...

"Now, state leaders are hoping to elevate the status of these relationships
by making it easier to "appear" married. As Assemblyman Van Tran (R) told
reporters, "Name change is a big, symbolic, important step for marrying a man
and a woman... It's one of the longest held traditions for the woman to take the
name of her husband's family... I just don't see any hard, compelling reason to
change that." Liberal activists certainly do. It puts them one step closer to
making traditional marriage completely irrelevant."

The state in question is California, by the way, and did anyone else miss that day of homosexual orientation? I didn't realize that wanting to share your partner's name, taking on that additional identity made any one else's marriage irrelevant. If I could just get my hands on a copy of that damn agenda of ours...



* Matt Barber's television remote must be broken too, since he has decided to complain about the language on various tv programs. Matt specifically mentions award broadcasts which are, for the most part, live...a fact that is usually made very clear in the advertisements before each show. My solution is the same as it was in my earlier post...change the channel if you don't like it, Matt.
